Whether Mason plays now seems to be very much up in the air. When asked on 94WIP on Wednesday morning if Mason could be a backup if he doesn't start, Flyers head coach Craig Berube did not sound optimistic.

"I don’t think so," Berube said. "The main priority for me as a coach is the health of my player and to look after my player, that’s the No. 1 priority. There’s nothing more important than that, and I’m not going to put anybody in a bad situation."

That means it is all-or-nothing for the Flyers, who will look to backup goalie Ray Emery if Mason can't play.
